Tattoo

Chapter 17

I decided I'll go shopping today. Since it's a week without school, I wanna spend my time in other way than learning.

.....

I am destroyed and tired! I bought some T-shirts and jogging trousers. I stopped at a little café in the shop center and ordered a latte. I took my cup and sat down on the chair. I can feel somebody has eyes on me. It's terrible feeling. I turned around and saw Marco, Erik and their 3 other teammates. I froze at the moment. Erik then noticed me too and smiled. He waved at me, but I didn't wave back, I don't need to see how Marco would punch his face. I saw a little movement from Marco. It's like he is getting ready to stand up. I don't wanna talk to him. I don't need a drama scene in front of all the people. I grabbed the cup, bags and literally ran away. I was nearly at the parking lot whe my phone rang. I saw it's Erik. I can't ignore him, when he saw me. "Yeah?" I answered, totally unsure about what's gonna happen. "Lucy? Where are you?" he said. "Where? Why would I tell you? Do you wanna tell Marco where I am or what?" I spilled the questions. "No. I won't tell him where are you. Lucy look, I can't go away from guys, they would figure out that I'm after you, but could we meet at the park at 15 maybe?" he said. "What do you mean by 'go away from guys'? Are you talking to me in front of them?" I asked hoping Marco's not around him. "No silly, I'm not around him. I am at the toilets.So? Will you come?" he said. I burst out laughting. "Sorry Erik, it's just the thing with toilets. Uuum, why do you wanna meet?" I asked. He called me silly, but it sounded so sweet. "Because I need to meet you, please." he said. Should I go? What does he want? "Okay, I'll be there. So, see you in 2 hours!" I said and hung up.

.....

It's 14:45, so I should get my jacket and leave for park. I am really curious about what Erik wants. I heard a knock at the front door. I thought that he said that we're gonna meet in the park. I opened the door and saw Marco. "M-marco? Wh-what do you want?" I asked while my voice was shaking. "Lucy I'm so sorry. When I saw the reacton when you saw me today I got sick. I don't want you to be like that with me. So, I am asking you out." he said. He what? "Excuse me?" I said surprised as a hell. "Lucy, would you go on a date with me?" he asked. "On a date? I- I don't know, I mean I am supposed to be somewhere now, so I can't think properly. I'll call you okay?" I said so quickly, that I doubt if he has understood everything. "No, I know you won't call me. W-where are you supposed to be?"he asked me. Shit, shit shit! "I won't answer you now. I promise I'll call you, just let me go now." I said. "So you won't tell me where you're going.?" he asked me. "No, because I don't have time." I answered. "I'll drive you."he said. I feel so sorry, I'm leaving him to meet with Erik. My feelings are so mixed that I can't even say how I feel about each of them. "No, no thanks. I'll drive on my own." I pushed him out of the house a little, locked the door and turned around. "You're gonna see Erik, aren't you?" he asked. Tell him the truth or lie? "Y-yes. He told me that he needs to tell me something." I said. "I know what he's gonna tell you, but I won't keep you away from it. I just think it will leave you more confused."he said. I looked him in the eyes and they were covered with water. He stepped closer and kissed my forehead. "It's your decision, but remember I love you so so much." he said and drove off. I was standing there absolutely confused. How can he know what is Erik going to tell me? What's my decision? I drove away with strange feeling inside of me. I saw Erik in the park he was sitting on a bench. I walked there and sat next to him. "Hi." he said and smiled warmly. I couldn't shake the bad feeling off of me. "Hi. So what's up?" I asked. "First of all, why didn't you wave too at the café?" he asked. I chuckled at the question. "I just didn't want Marco to punch your face." I said and looked at him. I am so confused. Is this the only thing he wanted? "Lucy are you okay? You look a little pale."he said. I won't lie anymore. I would get myself into more mess. "Erik, Marco was at my place before I came." I said. The smile from Erik's face dissapeared, but why? "And?" he asked, waiting for me to continue. "He told me that he knows what you wanna tell me and that he won't keep me away from coming here. And then he told me that it's my decision." I said, feeling like a stone has just fallen from my heart. "Okey, I guess it's time to get it out of my chest. Lucy, after the first time I had seen you, I told myself that I have to see you again because you dissapeared so quickly. The second time in the café, I took the chance to talk to you. Since then I've fallen for you. And I know that breaking the shy side of me was maybe the best thing I've ever done, because I got the chance to talk to you." he said. W-w-what? Is somewhere a hidden camera? What the hell should I do now? "W-what?" I managed myself to say it. "Lucy, I love the way you act, I love the way you smile, I love the way you talk, but most of all I love the way I feel around you." he told me. "I-I..." I couldn't get anything out of me. "Luc, I need to know how do you feel about me." he said. What the hell? "I -i don't know. I am being so confused lately, I don't know what I feel for Marco nor for you and I-i just.." I stood up and tried to run away, but Erik grabbed my hand. He pulled me closer and hugged me like a baby. I felt so good, but then the memory that I have to decide between Erik and Marco made me go crazy. I pushed away and mumbled "Sorry"and went away. I have to decide. I have to make the best decision ever.

She will decide in the next chapter or the chapter after. I feel confused, because I don' know with which one she should end with. If you would have any advice, pleaseee tell me.
